Nonprofit Leaders in Kirkland: Join Us for a Morning of Connection and Collaboration

Nonprofit leaders rarely get the chance to slow down and connect with peers. Most days are spent serving clients, managing programs, and raising the resources needed to keep the work moving.

That is exactly why the Greater Kirkland Chamber of Commerce and the Kirkland Community Foundation are hosting a Nonprofit Networking Morning for organizations serving Kirkland.

This gathering is designed for nonprofit leaders who want to connect, share ideas, and strengthen relationships within the local nonprofit community.

Tuesday, April 7
8:30 – 10:00 AM
Aegis Living on the Waterfront

Why This Gathering Matters for Kirkland Nonprofits

Kirkland is home to many nonprofit organizations doing important work. However, leaders often work in parallel rather than together.

This event creates space for nonprofit professionals to meet, exchange insight, and explore opportunities for collaboration.

In addition, the morning will help surface shared challenges and opportunities facing nonprofits in Kirkland today.

What We’ll Talk About

First, nonprofit leaders will have the opportunity to share what they are seeing in their work right now. What challenges are emerging? Where are organizations seeing increased demand? Where could collaboration help?

Next, the Greater Kirkland Chamber of Commerce will share how the Chamber supports nonprofits and how membership can help organizations connect with local businesses.

Finally, the Kirkland Community Foundation will discuss how we work alongside nonprofits through partnerships, philanthropy, and community initiatives that strengthen Kirkland.

Time to Build Real Connections

Just as important as the discussion will be the time to connect with one another.

After introductions, we will leave time for intentional networking so nonprofit leaders can:

• Meet peers serving Kirkland
• Share challenges and ideas
• Explore partnerships and collaborations
• Schedule follow-up conversations

These relationships often become the foundation for stronger community impact.

Supporting the Nonprofit Community in Kirkland

The Kirkland Community Foundation believes strong nonprofits are essential to a healthy and vibrant community. When nonprofit leaders connect and share knowledge, the entire community benefits.

This gathering is one way we can support the organizations that serve Kirkland every day.

Coffee and bakery items will be provided.
